install red hat 7.1
|
|
|
| i am a newbies
i ever install red hat ver 7.0 into my 40G partition which is
1st partition win98
2nd winxp
3rd red hat
i had deleted the whole red hat partition, so now i would like to install
red hat ver 7.1 but when i setup partition,
i can setup linux swap partition, for linux native, I type /, but it won't
continue and the error message is as below,
" Their are currently unallocated partition(s) present in the list of
requested partitions. The allocatted partition(s) are shown below, along
with the reason they were not allocated.
boot partition > 1024 cylinders."

| when you get to the redhat setup choose disk druid to manually set up your
linux partitions. now hopefully we are using the end of the drive to
install linux, if not set it up that way. now you can setup linux on one
big partition, that is what i think the option that says let redhat
automatcially configure the drive is for but lets do it manually. at the
disk druid screen make sure the free space section of the drive map is
selected and from the options at the below click on add or create new
partition. first lets make a /boot partition, that is what you will call
the partition, make it around 100 mb. next make a linux swap partition
respective to the amount of ram you have on your system, e.g. 128 mb on
system ---> 128 swap space.
next continue to make a / , /usr , /usr/local , /tmp , /opt , and /usr/src
partition. decide on how much to make them each.
i would make / about 150-200mb
.... /usr make big enough to cover the installation of redhat
because thats where all the rpms will go.
.... /usr/local make this last and instead of giving it a amount
in mb, click on fill this partition or something
like that.
.... /tmp make this about 100-150 mb, you could safely
make it 50 mb i believe.
.... /opt this partition is up to you, i usually don't make it
but i think kde installs here so if you want kde
make this partition. the size would depend on
the stuff you are going to install.
.... /usr/src around 150-200 will do the trick especially if you
plan on installing the linux sources. All linux
source files are installed here.
hey, i would go and get at least redhat 7.2 because it includes ext3
filesystems which is a much faster filesystem w/ journaling. much like the
new ntfs partition on w2k/XP. check out www.cheapbytes.com if you want
cheap copies of red hat 7.2 , though i think they call it pink tie due to
some legal issues.
good luck

| hi Tehmasp Chaudhri, thanks for your details,
i remember i had tried the way you listed,
for linux swap - 200 mb
and others i put more than thousand of mb - it that the problem ?
anyway, i will go back and try it again,
thanks

| could have been, try setting it up the way i listed i haven't had any
unallocated problems, there is no reason to waste 1gb for a /boot
partition.

My philosophy is different a bit:
do not let system puts up with a lot of OSes. You can buy a old computer
to run win98 or a win flavor. Then connect with a Unix box using samba
or any other protocol suit. You ll learn more and still keep your tasks
on M$ Office. However, a staroffice 6.0 is so good on ordinary tasks

Try rh7.3, that is quite new and update a lot of thing compared to rh7.1

the better is you should have created separate part(s):
/boot
# 24Mb rh7.1 # 47Mb rh7.3
/
# 500
/usr
# 3-5Gb
/opt # upto you
/home
# ~
/var
# 300-500
/swap = RAM times 2
if you run Oracle x 3
, I type /, but it won't

/boot can not afford to tracks out of 1024. To do this, turn to BIOS
then, switch cmos to LBA mode instead of auto or something. If it is not
allowed, manual to change: ( I forgot the formula to change 
Give you later if you want)
